Anyone take Kevin Nolan?

There was a link on Twitter earlier. How old is he these days?

Yes, ridiculous criticisms. I'm sure there's plenty to blame them for but this isn't one of them.

Let's face it, we're over a barrel in this window. I'm not even sure if it's worth spunking money on short term signings till May. We're gone, I'm more worried about next season now tbh.


Is my take on planning. Don't spend money we could better use in the summer.

Only slightly younger than his sisters.

Bullshit mate and you know it, I bet you we aint even made a phone call yet.

Well I called the Electricity Board and the young man that answered the phone seemed rather confused and said "I'm sorry this really has nothing to do with us".....I tried :)

I think I'd sign him. He could be useful next season.

33 born in 82. You know his goalscoring record in that league is pretty handy. I think he would be worth it to have his experience next season.  Scores 10 from midfield then makes sense.

29 in 85 ish games in the Championship

I'd take him for a season. Used to hate him when he played against us as he knew & used every trick in the book, but the sort of player you'd want in your side. Might put a rocket up the likes of Jack too

I hated Nolan more than I did Savage because unlike Savage who was a niggly little shit Nolan was far too fond of the ultimate football cowardice the Achilles stamp.  The fact that as a free agent Allardyce hasn't took him to Sunderland tells you all you need to know of what he still has in the playing tank.

Sure we'll probs sign him now.

I thought Nolan was rumoured to be a pretty disruptive influence in the dressing room, we don't need any more of those. Plus as mentioned above if Allardyce hasn't signed him then that says a lot.

I'd take him. We need a few grafters and fighters in the side for where we are, and where we're going.

It really hits home how far and low we've sunk when we're discussing Kevin Nolan as a viable target and most people are agreeing he'd actually improve us.

the only way GabFlab is leaving is inside a box

I'd gladly put him in one.

Snigger! Completely lacking in taste which just made it funnier

Someone should try putting him in a condom.
